NYC Man

It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart

If you accidentally crush it on the ides of March

I'd prefer you were straight-forward

You don't have to go through all of that

I'm a New York City man, baby and say, go, and that is that

New York City man, you just say, go, and that is that

I'm a New York City man, you just say, go, and that is that

It's far too complicated, mmm, to make up a lie

That you'd have to remember and really, why?

I wouldn't wanna be around ya

If you didn't wanna have me around

I'm a M-AN-N man, blink your eyes and I'll be gone

M-AN-N man, you blink your eyes, honey, and I'll be gone

New York City man, you blink your eyes and I'll be gone

Brutus made a pretty speech but Caesar was betrayed

Lady Macbeth went crazy but Macbeth ended slain

Ophelia and Desdemona dead, leavin' Hamlet in a play

But I'm no  Lear with the blinded eyes, say, go and I am gone

The stars have shut their eyes up tight

The earth has changed its course

A kingdom sits on a black knight's back

As it tries to mount a white jeweled horse

While a  clock full of butterflies on the hour

Releases a thousand moths

You say leave and I'll be gone without any remorse

No letters, faxes, phones, or tears

There's a difference between bad and worse

I'm a New York City man, blink your eyes and I'll be gone

New York City man, M-A-N, you blink your eyes and I'll be gone

New York City, I love ya

New York City man

New York City, how I love ya, blink your eyes and I'll be gone

Just a little grain of sand

New York City, ooh, how I love ya

New York City, baby, blink your eyes and you're gone

Oh, how I love ya
